The Multicultural Committee and the Arts Center are proud to announce the 2025 Heritage Tea Arts Competition!
Since 1987 the Heritage Tea Art Competition has offered the opportunity for students across Kershaw County to channel their creativity and engage with black history. This year students grades 3-8 were invited to explore a prominent African-American figure that is a leader in their field (Science, Entertainment, Business, Sports, etc.). Students then write a one-page paper and creatively illustrate the report (poster board, mobile, collage, etc.). Schools select two winners per grade, and then those projects are displayed at the Arts Center!
All these fantastic projects will be on display in the Bassett Gallery from Tuesday, February 25th to Tuesday, March 6th.
March 2 at 3:00 there will be a “Legacy Tribute: Pearl Boswell” event in Wood Auditorium. The student projects will be on display in the gallery.
On Tuesday, March 6th the public is invited to attend the Heritage Tea Student Awards program in the Wood Auditorium in the Arts Center at 6:30pm. This event is free and open to the public.
